UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya joined me to discuss his UFC 253 main event title defense against top contender Paulo Costa. In this interview from my radio show, Adesanya and I discuss the NBA players staging a walkout in response to the Jacob Blake shooting, why his strategy for Costa is to put him 'in the cauldron', the location of his bout (Las Vegas or Fight Island), why this rivalry seems to stick with so many, the apparent failure of USADA to catch Costa in any sort of wrong doing, why Yoel Romero pulled out of the fight with Uriah Hall and much more. This is taken from my radio program, The Luke Thomas Show, which airs weekdays at 1 pm ET on channel 156.
